Anyone interested in a quick spin from anywhere on Northbourne to turn off off Old Federal Highway? Travel on New Federal Highway and it will be around 20km one way. Start from 8:30 or 9AM. Need to get back at 10:30 at least, but won't envisage taking this long.

Food/drink for today was a concern so we were taking it easy for the flats and only pushing hard on the hills. Didn't work, he started to run out of power as we came past Coppins crossing road. I was a ba$tard - that's when I started doing some sprints.

I'm assuming you didn't have bricks in the panniers for this little ride?

Nope - no panniers involved.

I rode the Shogun the other day, about 20km - absolutely HATED it. My hip was sore for two days after (40mm wider Q factor), and it was SLOW.
